A teenage boy has been arrested and charged after an allegedly stolen car rollover killed a teen in Melbourne’s south west.

The 17-year-old was charged with culpable driving causing death and other driving offences and remanded in custody to face a children’s court, police announced this morning.

It comes after a grey Skoda sedan full of seven teenagers allegedly crashed on Derrimut Road in Hoppers Crossing about 12am on Friday.

A 15-year-old boy was ejected from the car and died at the scene.

A 16-year-old girl, who was in the front seat, broke both her legs. She remains in the hospital today and is expected to be interviewed.

The Skoda allegedly followed a Toyota after an incident at the Tarneit Central Shopping Centre on Friday.

Police alleged the people inside a Toyota felt intimidated and rang Triple Zero, who advised they drive to the nearest police station.

They allegedly began increasing their speed to get away from the Skoda, which sped up to 180 km/h to chase the Toyota on Derrimut Road.

The Skoda allegedly rammed the rear and crashed into two other cars before rolling into a front yard.
